Mulberry & Star Aniseed Baked Sweet Ricotta Cheese (Sicilian baked cheesecake)

Here in Sicily, it is the season of mulberries. They are juicy and sweet black berries which grows on big trees in the Sicilian countryside.

I believe that the star aniseed goes really well with the mulberry, and I added the spice to give some extra scent and flavor.

The absence of wheat and flour make it suitable for people who cannot take gluten.

It is a very moist cake with a very delicate flavor and texture.

I hope you will enjoy it 🙂
